We specifically focus on what the research literature can tell us about how they understand the concept of individual participation and which professional practices they find essential for their participation in the services.

Our contribution is based on the findings of a collaborative European research project involving researchers, students, public service organisations, service user organisations, and educators from various European countries. The aim of the project was to gain a differentiated and in-depth understanding of how reflexive professionalisation in social work may function as a concept and practice that stimulates social care that integrates a commitment to democratic citizen participation. Based on a qualitative content analysis of 21 transnational empirical case studies, we identify four vital dimensions of developing reflexive and democratic participatory approaches in social service contexts: (1) cultivating a historical awareness of how the professional identity and mandate of social workers has been and is currently (nationally) defined; (2) articulating the professional positions and normative value orientations that underpin (participatory) practice development; (3) reflecting on the constructions of problems, service user identities and related actions; and (4) creating space for ambiguity, risks and mistakes.ABSTRACTDeze paper onderzoekt hoe de hernieuwde nadruk op reflexiviteit in het veld van het sociaal werk een engagement tot reflexieve professionalisering kan omvatten waarbij rekening wordt gehouden met de uitdagingen van het representeren van gebruikers als burgers en waarbij naar sociale rechtvaardigheid wordt gestreefd. De bijdrage van deze paper is gebaseerd op de bevindingen van een Europees onderzoeksproject waarin onderzoekers, studenten, publieke voorzieningen, gebruikersorganisaties en lesgevers uit diverse Europese landen ernaar streefden om een gedifferentieerd en diepgaand inzicht te verwerven in hoe reflexieve professionalisering in het sociaal werk zich verhoudt tot een kritisch begrip van democratische burgerparticipatie. Op basis van een kwalitatieve inhoudsanalyse van 21 transnationale, empirische case studies werden 4 cruciale dimensies geïdentificeerd van wat het betekent om reflexieve en democratische participatieve benaderingen te ontwikkelen in de context van sociale voorzieningen: (1) het cultiveren van een historisch bewustzijn over hoe de professionele identiteit en het publieke mandaat van sociaal werkers (nationaal) gedefinieerd werden en worden; (2) het expliciteren van de professionele posities en normatieve waardenkaders die (participatieve) praktijkontwikkeling onderbouwen; (3) reflecteren op de constructie van probleemdefinities, gebruikersidentiteiten en bijhorende interventies; en (4) het creëren van ruimte voor ambiguïteit, risico en fouten.KEYWORDS: Reflexive professionalisationparticipationuser involvementdemocratic social workso","PeriodicalId":12060,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Work","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136309071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hiring agency social workers in the Swedish personal social services","authors":"Emelie Shanks","doi":"10.1080/13691457.2022.2147147","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13691457.2022.2147147","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The practice of hiring agency social workers, i.e. social workers who are employed by for-profit staffing agencies but rented out to the social services, has been questioned and depicted as legally complex, costly and unsustainable. Nevertheless, it continues to be an institutional way of handling vacancies and understaffing in the social services. In this article, professionals’ reasoning about the use of agency workers is investigated through qualitative interviews with 21 social workers/managers in the social services. According to the interviewees’ descriptions, agency social workers are hired in order to achieve numerical stability, i.e. to maintain services notwithstanding staff absence and vacancies. Similar to findings in previous literature, the interviewed professionals describe that workload, turnover and recruitment difficulties are reasons behind the use of agency workers. However, they also highlight other aspects that are associated with the use, such as chronic understaffing and a large proportion of newly qualified social workers. Throughout, the use of agency workers is described as reactive, i.e. as an acute (and often unwanted) solution, and not as deliberate and planned.","PeriodicalId":12060,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Work","volume":"26 1","pages":"896 - 907"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47637058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This allows us to set our shortand long-term strategic and operational goals in order to further strengthen the European Journal of Social Work as an academic forum where researchers in all areas of social work can exchange knowledge by publishing, disseminating and debating matters of research, theory, policy, education and practice. One of the elements that are addressed during this overview is the geographical distribution of the submissions that our journal annually receives. An interesting trend within those submissions is the steady but long-lasting increase in submissions from the Nordic countries and especially from Sweden. This, of course, has to do with (i) the importance countries give to social work, (ii) the degree of academisation of social work as a profession, but also with (iii) the access to journals and familiarity with the doxa of academic writing. Our former colleague Staffan Höjer wrote about it at length and pointed out that, for example, Sweden has twice as many social workers per 100,000 inhabitants than countries like the UK or the United States of America. Furthermore, the academic discipline of social work was introduced in Sweden in 1978 in the context of the integration of social work education in the Swedish universities, which was steered by the development of the Swedish welfare state (Höjer & Dellgran, 2013). To this day, we see the results of this professionalisation and academization of social work. Whilst of course as a journal we aim for diversity and wish also to support authors from countries with a less well-established research culture and infrastructure, in this issue we exclusively present articles written by colleagues from Sweden. We do this not only to highlight the strong development of academic social work in Sweden, but also to highlight the diversity of social work as a profession in Sweden, and beyond. In this issue, you will find contributions concerning active labour market programmes, repression, participation, home care, discretion, empowerment, evidence-based social work, health social work and automated decision-making. We hope you enjoy this issue and we are looking forward receiving your submissions in the future.","PeriodicalId":12060,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Work","volume":"26 1","pages":"787 - 787"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45347608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
